Figure 31: Configure SNMP dialog box
a.
For each trap recipient to be configured, enter a community name of 32 or
fewer alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field.
The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure
against unauthorized viewing or use.
b.
Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or
disable write authorization for the trap recipient (default is disabled). A
check mark in the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the
feature is enabled, a management workstation user can change the HAFM
appliance’s sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation SNMP variables.
c.
Enter the IP address or DNS host name of the trap recipient (SNMP
management workstation) in the associated Trap Recipient field. Use 64
or fewer alphanumeric characters. Hewlett-Packard recommends using
the IP address.
d. Enter a decimal user datagram protocol (UDP) port number in the
associated UDP Port Number field. (This number is commonly 162.)
2. To enable transmission of trap messages to configured SNMP management
workstations, click Enable Authorization Traps. A check mark displays in
the box when transmission is enabled.
3. Click Activate to save the information and close the dialog box.
Configuring and Enabling E-mail Notification
Use this procedure to configure and enable e-mail addresses and Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server addresses to receive e-mail notification of
director (and other managed product) events. The addresses must be configured
via HAFM, then enabled.
